Hollywood Burbank Airport

United Aircraft and Transport Corporation was a holding company started in 1928 which included Boeing Aircraft and United Air Lines, itself a holding company for a collection of small airlines that operated under their own names. One of these was Pacific Air Transport (PAT). Soon after, United Aircraft & Terminal sought a site for a new airport for PAT and found one in Burbank, CA. On Memorial Day weekend of 1930, United Airport was dedicated, competing with Grand Central Airport in Glendale. It was then renamed in 1934 to Union Air Terminal, and then again in 1940 to Lockheed Air Terminal after the aerospace manufacturer purchased it. Jet service came to Burbank during the late 1960s, with Pacific Air Lines operating non-stop flights to Las Vegas and San Francisco. In 1967, Lockheed renamed the property Hollywood-Burbank Airport. The facility stayed as Hollywood-Burbank Airport for over a decade. Then in 1978, Lockheed sold it to the Burbank–Glendale–Pasadena Airport Authority and the facility then became known as Burbank–Glendale–Pasadena Airport until 2003, when its named changed again, this time to Bob Hope Airport (after the late comedian). On June 27, 2014, a $112 million, 520,000-square-foot Regional Transportation Center opened. In 2013, Burbank–Glendale–Pasadena Airport Authority revealed plans for a replacement terminal, costing an estimated $400 million.
